With the TOEIC there is no passing or failing. The test result comes as a score which is made up by the number of correctly answered questions. Incorrect answers don't affect your score.

Each candidate is awarded a separate mark for written and oral comprehension on a scale from 5 to 495 points. These scores are added and make up your total score which can range between 10 and 990 points. The result does not correlate with the percentage of correctly answered questions. In order to make the TOEIC score as objective and reliable a statistical method is applied which converts the test results into the standardized TOEIC score.

The TOEIC test questions are based on real-life work settings in an international environment (meetings, travel, telephone etc). Each candidate is awarded a separate mark for written and oral comprehension on a scale from 5 to 495 points. The total score is between 10 and 990 points

A can-do levels table included with the results enables an individual's level to be determined and the tasks they are able to accomplish in English to be identified. (To print the levels table, download Acrobat Reader free of charge).
